During the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt. The chaos saw Trump abruptly removed from the stage after loud bangs rang out and he fell to the ground, visibly bloodied but resilient.

Amidst the chaos, the Secret Service swiftly intervened, confirming later that Trump was safe and had been placed under heightened protective measures.

In response to the shocking turn of events, tech magnate Elon Musk took to X to voice his support for Trump.

With over 9.7 million views on his post so far, Musk wrote, “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” signaling a potent endorsement from one of the most influential figures.
